… please. preferably around the 40-60 quid mark.

Giordana silverline bibs. Spot on for the money.

Oh, i should have said: No bibs.

Giordana Tenax – suit the longer thighed cyclist.

Lusso Pro X Coolmax – I prefer the non-gel version

Any other suggestions?

Silverline stuff does it for me at that price point.

Lusso Pro Gel

my advice: Change your mind about bibs 😛

(I was sceptical too, and yes your girlfriend will laugh at you but do it!)

I went for some castelli’s from wiggle at about £80 and i have a v happy bottom!

For non bibs I don’t think you can beat Endura FS260.

As mentioned above Giordano stuff is good to.

Pearl Izumi Pro. I wasn’t impressed with my Lusso shorts

A little outside your budget but worth saving for – or staying in this Friday night. Rode loads of miles in these this summer:

Type ‘freeship’ before Xmas for free postage.

You will have to provide your own ‘six-pack’

Ground Effect ‘Exocets’ or the slightly cheaper ‘Supersonics’ great fit and very comfortable
